Wednesday Advice: Be a Friend
A thought for this Wednesday:
Tell a friend that you love them. Tell them that you think they’re incredibly special… that you’re lucky to spend time with them, and share smiles, and lunch, and lavender soda. It’s an important thing to tell people. We don’t know how long we get to last in the world.
I care about you. I made you beef stew. Recipe shortly.

Dear Joy-
That’s the best advice I’ve received in a long, long time!
XO,
Holly
That’s so true,..:)
Thanks for the post, Joy! It’s so true. I kind of think beef stew and cookies and brownies mean “I love you,” too. But then again, I reaaalllly love beef stew (and brownies – obvi!). Can’t wait for the recipe!
Such a great post! Friends are so important!
Joy,
This is really a little frightening.
I was just about to tell a friend, bcause i just appreciate,
what she just told me yesterday evening.
it is so important, friends are always
Straight forward in their speaking to you.
it brought me to think a lot.
But thats what friends are for, aren’t they?
H.: I am so happy to have you back!
Hugs! (To H. AND to Joy of course).
Yeah, it totally made my day when my friend said she loved me like crazy haha!
People love to be appreciated and I think we all deserve it! You must be a really good friend
I need to take my own advice more. True talk.
loving this… so true, so true. telling people how you feel is important and THAT is some real talk lady wisdom.
@ Chris…I betcha they won’t. Just do it. After 3 years I am changing branches on Friday and today one of my lovely coworkers said “But who’s going to randomly tell me they love me now?!?!?!!?”…best compliment yet.
Thank you, Joy.
Beautiful reminder. I just met up with a dear friend today for coffee for an hour; best hour of my month. I am going to email her now and tell her just that :)
Yeah if I tell my friends that I think they’ll slug me. Just sayin.
Oh come on. Give people enough room to surprise you.
Beautiful! What more could possibly be said. And, personally, I love Beef Stew. Thank you.
Preach, sister. Preach.
Lovely post Joy! What a nice idea to stop and say thanks to the people we love. :D
I could not agree with you more. I really enjoy reading your blog, it definitely brightens my day/week. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and musings. I appreciate you and your hard work. Happy Tuesday Night to you.
